LIVE MUSIC IN HOBART AND BEYOND

APPLE SHED - HUON HIGHWAY

In the rustic surrounds of an original apple shed built in 1942, enjoy live music every Friday evening. Hop on the website for further details. A range of delicious ciders is available at the cellar door and the café serves a simple menu of the finest regional products. The Apple Shed believes the best tasting food is local, seasonal and sustainable. They work with passionate farmers who, like them, understand that good things take time and great tasting products come from using great quality ingredients. You’ll also find a small providore where local producers showcase their products and produce.

REKTANGO - SALAMANCA

Pop down to Salamanca of a Friday night and you'll typically find a very large crowd tucked in behind the Peacock Theatre. This free live music has become something of a Hobart institution and the friendly vibe makes for a fun evening. Rektango has a very family-friend feel, it's unlikely you won't see a young child up on Dad's shoulders enjoying the tunes. The quarry wall behind the stage offers a rustic, impressive backdrop and a good 'view from the top' is from Kelly's Steps just next door. Get amongst the locals and let your hair down!
